The NFL is becoming much more pass happy but I wouldn't be so hasty to write off running the football as meaningless. In their playoff run last year the Packers had sizable advantages in rushing in each game with the exception of the Super Bowl (where they were +3 in TOs). Maintaining some balance is always going to be important.
McFadden is a cripple, and he's not as good as MJD, Rice, or even Foster when he's healthy.
